night and who will { give thee thanks in the pit? 6 I am weary of my groaning;* every wash I my bed and water my couch with my tears. : 7 My beauty is worn away because of gone for ve-ry trou-ble: and 8 Away from me, all all mine en-e-mies. ye that work vani-ty: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weep-ing. 9 The Lord hath heard my pe-ti-tion: the Lord will receive my prayer. 10 All mine enemies shall be con founded, and sore vex-ed: they shall be turned back, and put to shame sud-den-ly. PSALM vii. Domine, Deus meus. O LORD my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and de-liv-er me; 2 Lest he devour my soul, like a { lion, and tear it in piec-es: while there is none to help. } 3 0 Lord my God, if I have done any such Tonus Peregrinus, p. 16. thing: or if there be any wicked-ness in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me: yea, I have delivered him that without any { cause is mine en-e-my; 5 Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me yea, let him tread my life down. upon the earth, and lay mine { hon-our in the dust. 6 Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath,* and lift up thyself, because of the indig-na-tion of mine ene-mies: arise up for me in the judgement that { thou hast com-mand-ed. 7 And so shall the congregation of the } people come a-bout thee: for their sakes therefore lift { up thy-self a-gain. 8. The Lord shall judge the people ;* give { sentence with me, O Lord: according to my righteousness,* and according to the innocency { that is in me. 9 Olet the wickedness of the un-god-ly come to an end: but guide thou the just. 10 For the right-eous God: trieth the { ve-ry hearts and reins. 11 My help com-eth of God: who pre serveth them that are true of heart. 12 God is a righteous Judge, strong, and pa-tient and God is pro- } vok-ed eve-ry day. * 13 If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword: he hath bent his bow, and { made it rea-dy. 14 He hath prepared for him the { in-struments of death: he ordaineth his arrows against the perse-cu-tors. 15 Behold, he { tra-vail-eth with mis-chief: he } hath conceived sorrow, and brought god-li-ness. forth un 16 He hath graven and dig-ged up a pit: and is fallen himself into the destruction that he made for o-ther. 17 For his travail shall come up- { on his own head and his wickedness shall fall on his own pate. 18 I will give thanks unto the Lord, ac- { cord-ing to his righteous-ness: and I will praise the name of the Lord most High. PSALM viii. Domine, Dominus noster. Tone 6. (1.) p. 11. O LORD our Governour,* how excellent is thy Name in all the world: thou that hast set thy { glory a-bove the heavens! 2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength,* be- { cause of thine ene-mies: that thou mightest still the enemy, { and the a-ven-ger. 3 For I will consider thy heavens,* even the { works of thy fin-gers: the moon and the stars, which thou hast or-dain-ed. 4 What is man, that thou art { mindful of him and the son of man, that thou visit-est him? 5 Thou madest him lower than the an-gels: to crown him with glory and wor-ship. 6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the { works of thy hands and thou hast put all things in sub- jec-tion under his feet; 7 All } sheep and ox-en: yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowls of the air, and the sea: and whatsoever walketh fishes of the through the paths of the seas. 90 Lord our Gover-nour: how excellent is thy Name in all the world!
